November 1605. Becket Bramble once again finds himself thrust back to the past, his magical pendant propelling him into the midst of the Gunpowder Plot. When Becket saves the life of a persecuted boy, he is befriended by a Jesuit priest, Father Thomas, and is enlisted by the band of religious fanatics determined to send King James and his nobles to damnation. With only days until the infamous plot, Becket must find a way to thwart the plotters, dodge the vicious priest hunter, Red Ranter, outwit Cecil, the king's spymaster, and most of all defeat his time-travelling nemesis, Beaufort, and her odious sidekick, Levinus Munck.His adventure takes place against the iconic backdrop of 17th century London, an unrelenting journey, from torture at the Tower, to the dripping cellars below Parliament as Guy Fawkes prepares to blow the Houses to rubble. Will Guy Fawkes succeed and exterminate Becket and his family and blast the throne of England to smithereens or will his mystical pendant once more come to his rescue, saving history from the grasp of Beaufort's evil desire?
